Author Page

As Ghost 0.5.0 bring multi-user support, the theme also start to support author page to show posts by specific author!

Author pages will be rendered by either the new author.hbs template, or default to index.hbs if author.hbs is not present. Similarly to tag pages, author pages have access to an author object as well as a posts object.
